[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our local Dems are saying to vote "yes" on both, but I'm planning on voting "no" for the flooding one and "yes" for the spouse of veterans one.
For the flooding one: I think we need to discourage continued building in flood prone areas. I also of course think we need to work on climate change, but I don't think this amendment is a good idea.
Agree the second one is not controversial.[/quote]

Why yes on the second one.  I am voting dem as well, but plan on voting no to both. [b] Not sure why the property tax relief should continue no matter where in state you move, just because your spouse was a veteran. Yes, I appreciate veterans and spouses, but fee at some point the exemptions for taxes just have to stop.  [/b]

The amendment is not for any and all vets.  It is not even for most vets.

It is for the small portion that are at 100% disability.

Do you know how damaged your mind and body must be to get a 100% disability rating?

This is not a perk like a military discount.

These are not typical vets.

These 100% disability vets are extraordinary families with extraordinary  sacrifice.
